After playing the new remake of Tomb Raider, I’m convinced you can’t actually remake Tomb Raider

The original Tomb Raider experience captivated players in the late 1990s with memorable moments such as discovering a trapezoid box, switching to high-resolution graphics, experiencing the eerie stillness of caves, diving into pools while counting seconds for air, learning the importance of quick saves, falling from a waterfall, exploring Croft Manor, encountering a T-Rex, and flipping through menus showcasing 3D models. The legacy of Tomb Raider continues with titles like Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tomb Raider Remastered, while the new game, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, invites contemplation about the essence of the original 1996 game. The gaming landscape in 2026 features near-photorealistic visuals, but the charm of the original lies in its unrefined elements, which large-scale game development struggles to replicate. There is potential for capturing the original magic if Amazon collaborates with indie developers, rather than merely following current trends.

“I thought it was a Steam game”… Malicious code found planted on users’ PCs

'Beyond the Dark' is an indie game released for free on Steam on December 29, 2024, which was misrepresented as a turn-based strategy game despite displaying characteristics of a first-person horror game. Tech YouTuber Eric Parker identified it as an 'asset flip' and revealed that it distributed malware designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet information and Roblox account credentials. The malware was embedded in a DLL file activated upon the game's execution. Following Parker's findings, Valve removed the game from its platform within a day. The gaming community has seen similar incidents, such as the 'Blockbusters' game in September 2025, which was involved in a malware scheme that stole cryptocurrency.

Saros Director Dodges Question About Sony Ditching PC Ports

Sony's upcoming first-party title, Saros, is being developed by Housemarque and follows the release of the critically acclaimed game Returnal. There is speculation about whether Saros will be a console exclusive or also released on PC, but the game's director, Gregory Louden, has not provided clarity on this issue. Reports indicate that Sony is reconsidering its strategy for releasing single-player titles on PC, influenced by disappointing sales of previous PC ports and a desire to reinforce its PlayStation ecosystem. Notably, there are no plans to release anticipated titles like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine on Steam. These developments suggest Sony is cautious about making its games available on non-PlayStation platforms.
